Carl Jung on an Artist’s Life

“The Artist’s Life cannot be otherwise than full of conflicts for two forces are at war within him or her – on the one hand, the common human longing for happiness, satisfaction and security in life, and on the other a ruthless passion for creation which may go so far as to override every personal desire…there are hardly any exceptions to the rule that a person must pay dearly for the Divine gift of creative fire.” #CarlJung #quote
